WAITING
to force these intensities to a shape, to burst or dilate. Body without cause, so detailed, so collate and threaded, you find yourself together making verbal patterns, visual attachments, which you can't unless willing an escape. If you compere, all concepts can be made concrete, released suddenly, a movement in commonplace, maybe over your head. Like I've been searching suddenly all over for justification. Dicing through bends in the time. It's suddenly a wall of laughter - warping occasion on a determined faultline. Or, we are all attached anyway. Not the same as attack. Bent on understanding, see? And it will curve us as we lean it out. The response which was so automated, so confused, is more like keeping up chance, smirched now in the temperature of the room. High order, it was heady lately. You had to be there to experience. And even though one left early, odd throbbing away, ready to hatch. And though you lay your ear very close to the side of it, which side have you taken? Responsive or servile? Others' needs don't curb in the zone used to blast others' intentions for. Can it be generous while qualifying embrace? The area is warm where thought pounds on it, day after day, bending pale green shade afterwards. That's unclear. Or maybe the eye which makes light of or sense anyway |
